Surrounding the locket is a border of sterling balls and the back of the piece is engraved with the initials "EEW" in a flowing cursive script. The back is also stamped with three English hallmarks, as well as "J & F.S". The inside of the locket opens to reveal two spaces for your favorite photographs.
